I think the nylon cord is meant to be PULLED through from the bore end. Attach a brush, mop, patch and pull instead of push. In general, you always want to clean from bore to muzzle not the other way around.

Ah, ok. That makes a bit more sense.

But then the brass brush is sorta going backwards, any damage if done that way? One brush has bigger silver "brushes" on the end, so maybe that is why. Instructions for certain things would be nice!

Bore snake a chamber brush on a pistol rod and some ALG Go Juice & their 0000 Very Thin Grease are all I ever use until the accuracy suddenly goes to crap. Then I might check the crown for damage and the bore for excessive copper build up.

When people ask me "do your dogs bite?", I tell them of course my dogs bite, all dogs bite. The question should be will your dogs bite me?
